Overview

It’s nineteenth-century England. Social decorum reigns. Devon Phoenix, Marquess of Phoxdale and first-born son of the Duke of Seton, shuns society when he is bound to his soul mate through the discovery of a buried family secret. He learns she will need his protection from those drawn to her because of her lineage. When he crosses two centuries into present day to claim her, it is not without cost.

The life of Boston artist and history buff Elz Valli is about to be irreversibly altered. Coming face-to-face with Devon, she feels certain this striking, intellectual man bears more than a shocking resemblance to the man marked in the pages of her history books. Even so, she does not expect the chain of events that unfold because of one heated dance with him. With the pendulum in motion, there is no turning back as Devon’s presence in today’s world ignites raging fires both good and evil.

Driven by his insane love for her, Devon will stop at nothing to have and protect Elz. But will this be enough to overcome the powers that will attach themselves to her?

About the Author

Anna Albergucci lived the first part of her life in Tennessee, and then moved to Oklahoma where she met and married her high school sweetheart. They've since made a life together in West Texas, and that romance shaped a happy home that has gone from a family of two to a family of eleven and growing, plus three dogs.

Even as a child, Anna had a strong imagination, indulging her mother, and anyone who would listen, with the telling of her obscure dreams from the night before. These days, she puts her dreams to paper, weaving them into well thought out stories with deeply passionate characters; characters that live lives the rest of us only dream about.

Anna loves mornings, coffee, and sitting on the porch appreciating her life. She's a sucker for hosting parties, especially historical costume parties. And in her spare time, you can find her touring old mansions - preferably not haunted ones - shopping for antiques, or curled up reading her favorite romances, paranormals, and thrillers, whether historical or contemporary.

Devon finishes the diary and wonders about who his true love may be.He gazes into the mirror and finds her name to be Elysian/Elz but she is in the future in the 21st century.
I don’t particularly like time travel stories but this was pretty good. I did like the plot of the story for the most part and the characters just not the time travel.
I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.
